Ryan, outside West Point, stumps for military bill

Nov 29, 2022 12:21 pm

Mid-Hudson News reports that while Pat Ryan currently represents the 19th Congressional District in the House of Representatives, he is about to change to the 18th Congressional District in January. Ryan won a special election in August to fill in the final weeks of Rep. Antonio Delgado's term in the 19th District, after he left to become lieutenant governor. Ryan then was elected for a full-term in the new 18th Congressional District in November, which means he switches districts in January. On Nov. 28, Ryan was more in 18th Congressional District mode, speaking just outside of West Point in support of passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. “When it comes to our veterans, our military families, we have to rise above this partisan divide we have in our country right now and come together as patriots and make sure that we deliver in keeping our country safe and supporting our troops and our military families,” he said. In particular, Ryan said $39.8 million would go toward the continuing construction of the $200 million West Point cyber and engineering center, and $1.6 million would upgrade barracks and child development centers at West Point if the National Defense Authorization Act was passed in its current state. There is also a 4.6 percent pay raise for active duty members and civilians in the bill. Read more about this story at Mid-Hudson News.
